micronutrient profile

The chart below shows the micronutrients provided by Shawn’s diet as a proportion of the daily recommended intake (DRI) for each nutrient (excluding supplements).

supplements

The supplements listed below will provide Shawn with the nutrients that he is not getting enough of in the most cost effective manner until he is able to improve the nutrient density of his diet.

Most people do not meet the recommended intake vitamin D from their food so ensuring adequate sun exposure and vitamin D supplementation is important.

nutrient ratios

The graphs below show the key nutrient ratios in your diet. Rather than emphasising nutrients based on your nutrient ratios, the Nutrient Optimiser uses the nutrient ratios as a safety check to make sure that you’re not being recommended any food that will push micronutrient imbalances and to maximise the benefit of your diet.

nutrients to prioritise

Going forward, we want to prioritise the nutrients that Shawn’s diet is not providing in large quantities. The table below shows the nutrients that Shawn is not achieving more than 300% of the DRI and that are not contraindicated by the nutrient ratios above.

optimal foods for you

The foods listed below will provide Shawn with the nutrients that he is currently not getting in large amounts while also aligning with his goal of athletic performance. The foods are ranked in descending order of priority (from the top of the page to the bottom).

macronutrients

protein

The average protein intake for all people who have had a Nutrient Optimiser analysis done is 2.1g/kg LBM, with half of the population sitting between 1.4 and 2.5g/kg LBM.

Generally accepted protein intake levels are shown in the table below. Higher levels are required to support lean body mass if you are more muscular and/or more active. Lower levels can be beneficial is you require therapeutic ketosis for conditions such as epilepsy, cancer, Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The table below shows how Shawn’s current protein intake compares to these accepted protein intake levels based on his current lean body mass.

macro targets

Shawn should consume at least 165g of protein per day.

Shawn’s fat intake should range between 37 and 205g/day.

Shawn’s maximum recommended carbohydrate intake is 173g per day given his goal of athletic performance.

The table below shows the minimum effective dose of protein and fat required to achieve a
reasonable level of nutrition. These ranges should be entered in Cronometer as a guide.

Shawn’s
focus should be on maximising the nutrient dense foods and meals noted in this report, however these macronutrient targets will also be a useful guide to make sure he is on the right track.

net carbs, insulin load, insulinogenic calories

Shawn’s food diary indicates he is eating 4122 calories per day with an insulin load of 317g/day and with 31% insulinogenic calories. His basal metabolic rate (BMR) is 2580 calories per day to support weight maintenance at rest.

The percentage of insulinogenic calories is the proportion of food that will require insulin to metabolise. This is influenced by the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fibre. Lower levels can stabilise blood sugars. However, a very low insulin load diet compromise nutrient density.

The insulin load is an indication of the amount of insulin your pancreas will need to produce to metabolise the food. Insulin load is similar to the % insulinogenic calories metric, but it considers serving size.

insulin load (g) = 0.56 x protein (g) + carbohydrate (g) –fibre (g)

The table below shows the % insulinogenic and insulin load (based on Shawn’s average calorie intake) for the Standard American Diet (SAD), the average of all people who have had their Nutrient Optimiser analysis done as well as typical levels for people managing diabetes and therapeutic ketosis.
